45 - She’s Theming These Party Nights (Ma [2019] with R.J. Joseph)

We’re starting Season 3 off in splashy fashion with a series devoted to celebration. Parties in horror movies are never a good idea for the characters but always a great idea for the audience. This week’s guest, the Stoker-nominated author R.J. Joseph, recommended the 2019 film Ma to us as a must-see in the party-gone-wrong canon. We had a blast with Octavia Spencer’s performance, the camp, and unpacking the themes of sympathetic monsters and representation between the film and Joseph’s own writing. Follow R.J. Joseph online at https://rhondajacksonjoseph.com [https://rhondajacksonjoseph.com/], pick up a copy of her Stoker Award-nominated story collection, Hell Hath No Sorrow Like a Woman Haunted [https://bookshop.org/p/books/hell-hath-no-sorrow-like-a-woman-haunted-rj-joseph/18703368?ean=9781990082184],   or visit her on Twitter [https://twitter.com/rjacksonjoseph] @rjacksonjoseph Follow our show on social media @CallsInsidePod [https://instagram.com/callsinsidepod]and our host Kevin Sparrow on Twitter [https://twitter.com/dirtydevlin] @dirtydevlin
